Poka-yoke is a quality assurance technique developed by Japanese manufacturing engineer Shigeo Shingo. The aim of poka-yoke is to eliminate defects in a product by preventing or correcting mistakes as early as possible. Poka-yoke has been used most frequently in manufacturing environments. Hewlett Packard currently develops its Common Desktop Environment software to run in twelve locales or lan...

Poka Yoke is a method of quality management which is related to prevent faults from arising during production processes. It deals with “fail-safing” or “mistake-proofing”. The Poka-yoke concept was generated and developed by Shigeo Shingo for the Toyota Production System. Poka Yoke is used in many fields, especially in monitoring production processes. In many cases, identifying faults in a prod...

This study investigated the capacity of the E20 rat fetus to adaptively alter patterns of interlimb coordination in a prenatal model of motor learning. Fetal limb movement was manipulated with an interlimb yoke, consisting of a fine thread attached at the ankles, which created a physical linkage between two limbs. Exposure to the yoke resulted in a gradual increase in conjugate movements of the...

In this paper a new technique for the accurate calculation of magnetic fields in the end regions of superconducting accelerator magnets is presented. This method couples Boundary Elements (BEM) which discretize the surface of the iron yoke and Finite Elements (FEM) for the modelling of the nonlinear interior of the yoke. The BEM-FEM method is therefore specially suited for the calculation of 3d...

In order to calculate the field quality in the aperture of the SIS100 dipole magnet, a finite element discretization based on a tetrahedral mesh is applied. An anisotropic nonlinear material model resulting from a homogenization of the laminated iron yoke is necessary to model the effects of ferromagnetic saturation [1]. The excitation current in the superconducting coils amounts to 48 kA and v...

Jesus’ kind of leaders have influence because they are learners. Their classwork with The Rabbi is never dismissed. Jesus invites, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart...” (Matt. 11:29, italics mine). Because the “take my yoke” command gets more attention than the “learn from me” command, it’s worth considering a few points as to how learning relates to ...

Competing aircraft and simulator manufacturers are currently incorporating dissimilar flight control systems into commercial aircraft and training equipment. In response to such industry developments, a recently emerging field of aviation training transfer research is examining the distinctiveness of conventional and alternate flight control systems and their underlying transfer relationships. ...
